Would you believe I had never eaten a baked apple until a few weeks ago? Well perhaps you would – after all we don’t know each other that well yet. Hopefully that will change in due course! Anyway, I was shocked to realise that I hadn’t. Come peak apple season our kitchen is brimming with apples waiting to be incorporated into scrumptious dishes. Apple crumble is a don’t-mess-with-me tradition in our family and I cannot remember a year that we haven’t made at least half a dozen batches of stewed apples. The look of pure horror on a friend’s face when she discovered me stewing apples a number of years ago was priceless. Apparently normal fifteen year olds don’t do that sort of thing, or at least not for kicks.

As you can see apples and I have become well acquainted over the years, but never in the baked form. The time to try this classic dessert was well overdue. Did they live up to expectations? Yes indeed. I didn’t actually look at any recipes instead opting to free-reign it, a decision that could well have ended in disaster. Fortunately the risk paid off instead, resulting in sweet, spicy, melt-in-your-mouth appley goodness. Merely squish a moist fruity-crumble mixture brimming with aromatics into the centre of the apple…simple baking at it’s best.

Don’t fret if you are missing some (or a number) of the ingredients – mix and match as necessary. Who knows, you may come up with an even better combination!
